I think this is getting downvoted a little unfairly. I suspect this is mostly because the title went a bit too far in the “provocative” direction. If you were to build on this, I’d say extract the parts about setting up your own instance (everything after “In Comes Lemmy”) and expand that.
A couple other thoughts:
- I agree that !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org is awesome, if you contact pmjv he’ll probably respond
- You say: “When you use Lemmy, you have to subscribe to specific communities in order to see the content from those communities.” which is not literally true – you can just set your account to read “all”, and a lot of people do that. Not sure what the default is, especially if you set up your own instance.

I wanna watch an ad about someone watching an ad. The ad will be for adwatching. Or in newspeak:
Adwatching adwatchers adwatch: adwatch!

go for it, fam! Yeah, I think it’s a lot more fun to be posting when someone else is already posting there. (instead of just posting by yourself.)

The big three are:
- memes
- politics/news
- tech
There are a couple dozen people who keep a smaller community alive (like PugJesus on history, anon6789 on owls, JohnnyEnzyme on euro graphic novels, LaurenceWolse on b movies, Nexius Lobster on traditional art, etc); occasionally someone takes over a community and starts posting regularly, and occasionally someone burns out and the community dies.

Historically, it was a vast network of arms depots built by Germany to help them… uh… “travel to” France.

here’s a tip:
- subscribe to communities, then browse by “subscribed” and "new"
- when you run out of new posts on your subscribed communities, browse by “all” and “new”, and look for more communities to subscribe to

One time for work I was sent to give a presentation and they put me up in a really pricey hotel. The people at the front desk were so smiley and cheerful like seeing me was the best moment of their lives. It totally freaked me out. Then I realized: this must be how it is for rich people, with folks always smiling at them like they’re awesome. I wanted to say: you don’t have to be that way with me, look at me, my luggage is held together with duct tape and I still look like a grad student. But I didn’t say anything bc it probably just would have made things even more awkward.

Totally different. If you break down on the way to Vegas, eventually someone will pass by who can help you. But in our case there’s nobody who can help us.

Pretty sure the image is AI, but it’s nice… I think the original author is on twitter so I can’t confirm where it came from.

Take a look at the movie “Threads” about the effects of a nuclear war. It’s from back in the cold war, but a lot of it remains relevant:
